[small voice] does anyone want to try the science round of proposed pub quiz, you were well up for it yesterday...I promise there are only 2 or 3 rounds more to go....or shall I get my coat?

[handlemecarefully]

Same rules:

Take 5 minutes
You may confer if you have company
No googling

1)What is another name for the Cuspids?

2)If oxygen is O2, what is O3?

3)In the physics formula, power is defined as work divided by what?

4)What chemical is represented by the symbol Sn?

5)What is the 6th planet from the sun in our solar system?

6)What is the proper name for a ?Lie Detector??

7)What disease of cattle, does BSE stand for

8)Who is credited with inventing penicillin

9. Name 3 of the world?s atmospheric layers

10. Which of these foods, when eaten in the same quantities, contains the most kilocalories of energy: blackberries, blueberries or raspberries?

and thank you!

the answer to Q9 :troposphere,stratosphere, mesosphere,thermosphere,exosphere.

If this is too hard I could ask people to name 3 types of cloud?

1. canine teeth
2. ozone (O2 is referred to as just oxygen or an oxygen molecule by chemists, not dioxide a lone oxygen would just be an oxygen atom)
3. power =work/time
4. Sn is tin (from latin stannum, people sometimes referred to the salts of tin as eg stannous chloride)
5. saturn
6. polygraph
7. bovine spongiform encephalophagy (approx)
8. Alexander Fleming ; Florey also gets some of the credit nowadays.
9. uh...stratosphere, ionosphere, mesosphere.
10. Um. I suspect that blueberries contain the most usable energy when eaten cos the pips in the others are indigestible. If the question had been which contain the most energy (ie burn them in a calorimeter) then the woodier blackberry might win. . Blueberries.

10/10 emsmum!

I did post that before I'd read he answers.

Clouds - cumulus, cirrus, nimbus.
Cumulonimbus

Oooh this was hard, and I didn't look.

1)What is another name for the Cuspids?
Well you have cuspid valves in your heart, so I'll go for heart valves

2)If oxygen is O2, what is O3?
hmmmm, it isn't good for you whatever it is.

3)In the physics formula, power is defined as work divided by what?
oh yes, the old physics A-level really coming into play here......energy maybe???

4)What chemical is represented by the symbol Sn?
er, tin

5)What is the 6th planet from the sun in our solar system?
Only the good lord knows. Let's go for neptune

6)What is the proper name for a ?Lie Detector??
Polygraph

7)What disease of cattle, does BSE stand for
Bovine Spongyform Encephalopathy. Do I get extra points as it is caused by prions?

8)Who is credited with inventing penicillin
Fleming

9. Name 3 of the world?s atmospheric layers
   er er
   Stratosphere and two others

10. Which of these foods, when eaten in the same quantities, contains the most kilocalories of energy: blackberries, blueberries or raspberries?
    Oh I'll go for blueberries.

and thank you!

I do have a chemistry degree ... wouldn't have known 2 or 5 before I had DD though!

1)What is another name for the Cuspids? MILKY WAY?

2)If oxygen is O2, what is O3? PASS

3)In the physics formula, power is defined as work divided by what? ENERGY?

4)What chemical is represented by the symbol Sn? PASS

5)What is the 6th planet from the sun in our solar system? SATURN

6)What is the proper name for a ?Lie Detector?? POLYGRAPH

7)What disease of cattle, does BSE stand for BOVINE SPOINGIFORM ENCEPHALOPOTHY.....?????

8)Who is credited with inventing penicillin FLEMING

9. Name 3 of the world?s atmospheric layers STRATOSPHERE - ER - THAT'S IT

10. Which of these foods, when eaten in the same quantities, contains the most kilocalories of energy: blackberries, blueberries or raspberries? BLUEBERRIES

ROFL at Milky Way

ahem, I think I need some points for my cuspid heart valves

Well I got 5 and a bit right! (And I nearly spelled encephalopathy right too, I'll award myself an extra point for that)

WW - were you thinking Milky Way or milky way?

Well as it turns out to be teeth I'd better say the second one, it's closer!

Haven't looked at any answers
1)What is another name for the Cuspids? teeth

2)If oxygen is O2, what is O3? methane

3)In the physics formula, power is defined as work divided by what? ?????

4)What chemical is represented by the symbol Sn? Sodium

5)What is the 6th planet from the sun in our solar system? Saturn

6)What is the proper name for a ?Lie Detector?? Polygraph

7)What disease of cattle, does BSE stand for Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis

8)Who is credited with inventing penicillin Fleming

9. Name 3 of the world?s atmospheric layers stratosphere ionosphere

10. Which of these foods, when eaten in the same quantities, contains the most kilocalories of energy: blackberries, blueberries or raspberries? blueberries

very valid point slubbers. There are indeed cuspid heart valves as well as cuspid teeth. I will leave the question in but will give a point for either anwer.

Am deffo going to substitute the earth's atmosphere question with types of cloud instead. I think that's more gettable.

I love quizzes. Was on the school inter-house quiz team when was 14 (nerd emoticon).

oh - always transpose jupiter and saturn, must be some form of planetary dyslexia.

I think clouds would be better. or prehistoric periods of time.

The planets are easy if you've learned the My Very Easy Method (although I do struggle with Mars and Mercury - I always assume Mars is hotter because it's red):

My.........Mercury
Very.......Venus
Easy.......Earth
Method.....Mars
Just.......Jupiter
Set........Saturn
Up.........Uranus
Nine.......Neptune
Pla nets....Pluto

1. Canines
2. Ozone
3. time
4. tin
5. Saturn
6. polygraph
7. bovine spongiform encephalitis
8. Sir Alexander Fleming (he discovered it, not invented, btw)
9. stratosphere, mesosphere, troposphere
10. I'd guess blueberries

Ok 'discovered'!

8 will be Alexanfer Fleming, but most of the work was done by Flory and Chain (if you want the smart arse answer)

And I'm with the merry scot for all of them

I think they are a bit easy for a pub quiz, tbh.

FM!

I hope that was meant to be a , AMS!!!

(cos they aren't - and you got the last word of Q7 wrong too, so ner)
